PAPER-CUTTER.

Application filed April 15, 1913, Serial No. 761,181.

To all whom '52, may concern:

Be it known that I, CLARENCE E. ANABLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sacramento, in the county of Sacramento, State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-Cutters; and I do declare the following to be a clear, full and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this application.

This invention relates to improvements in paper cutters used on paper rolls in grocery or other stores, the object of the invention being to produce a over my pending applicationfor patent, Ser. No. 732,463, the improvement in this application comprising a means for securing my sanitary cutter, as shown in said previous application, to any form of cutters now in use without necessitating the alteration or change of the same or without necessitating the use of any specific form of standard or supporting arms.

A further object of the invention is to produce a simple and inexpensive device and yet one which will be exceedingly elfective for the purposes for which it is designed.

These objects, I accomplish by means of such structure and relative arrangement of the parts as will fully appear by a perusal of the following specification and claims.

On the drawings, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views.

Figure l is an end view of a paper roll and standard showing the application of my improved cutter thereto. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same with part of the paper strip partly broken away. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of one end of the cutting blade proper.

Referring now more particularly to the characters of reference on the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a standard of any type adapted to carry the roll 2.

The numeral 3 designates the usual arms to be found on any type of ordinary cutter and 4 is the usual blade mounted on said arms and impinging against the roll 2.

My improved structure constitutes the cutting blade 5 provided with elongated longi- Specification of Letters Patent.

tudinal slots 6 at each end, such slots being adapted to receive adjustable screws 7 carrying brackets 8.

The numeral 9 designates arms provided with clamps 10 having set screws 11 whereby said arms 9 will be fixed to the arms 3. The lower ends of the arms 9 are then provided with slots 12 adapted to fit over bolts 13 carried in the brackets S, which bolts 13 carry wing nuts let. By means of the brackets being adjustable along the slots 6, they may be moved to be brought into alinement with the arms 3 irrespective of what distance said arms may be spaced apart and then the arms 9 may be clamped to the arms 3. By means of the wing nuts let the position of the blade from the paper roll 2 may be adjusted and also the angle at which it is placed may be adjusted in order to give the best results on any particular type of standard or any particular size of paper roll.

As can be readily seen, the structure presented in this application is extremely advantageous over the structure shown in my prior pending application inasmuch as it permits the same to be applied to any pres ent used form or type of standard or paper cutter. The balance of the structure is the same as that used in my pending application, namely, the spaced member 15 projects along the underside of the blade 5 through which the paper strip 16 extends ready to be grasped each time a cut is made for the purposes set forth in the above mentioned application.

From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that I have produced such a device as substantially fulfils the objects of the invention as set forth herein.

lVhile this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the device, still in practice, such deviations from such detail may be resorted to as do not form a departure from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and useful and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A device of the character described comprising the combination with a paper cutter having projecting arms, of auxiliary arms adapted to be clamped to said first named arms, brackets adjustably mounted on sa1d auxiliary arms, a cutting blade adjustably mounted on sa1d brackets and a member projecting along the underside of said blade slots and into said brackets, and a member 10 and spaced therefrom, as described. projecting along the underside of said blade 2.
